Francis Crowe and other members of the Sugar Shack Alliance continue to be arrested for trespassing and blocking access to Kinder Morgan’s pipeline expansion in the Otis State Forest. Crowe, who is 98 years old, is ready to go to jail to protect the forest and stop the natural gas line’s construction. Lawyers for the Sugar Shack Alliance, a direct action group that organizes nonviolent resistance to the fossil fuel industry in the northeastern United States, argued the pipeline’s expansion violates an article in the Massachusetts state constitution that protects the conservation land and state forest.
